O Sabbath rest of Gallilee!
O calm of hills above,
Where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity
interpreted by Love.
Drop thy still dews of quietness
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls, the strain and stress
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace.
-John Greenleaf Whittier, 1872
